Dear Members of Saint Katharine Drexel -
Given the latest message from Governor Walz on Wednesday, November 18th there could be some confusion or mixed messaging that just needs a little clarification. While he is asking that everyone execute a four- week pause on “social gatherings” he did also say that Church services could continue as they have been. Meaning at 50% of the capacity of the worship space and with all the other COVID-19 pandemic protocols in place. This means that we will be able to continue our Mass schedule as usual – we would kindly ask, however, that if you wish to attend any scheduled Mass that you: a) Sign-up on the web page, b) be sure to wear your mask, c) follow the seating instructions as they are given so the social distancing requirements can be fulfilled.
For Religious Formation – We will continue with in- person classes for First Reconciliation/First Communion, with the mask and social distancing requirements. Confirmation will remain as is, the option for in-person (masks and social distancing as instructed by the catechists) or remote by way of ZOOM. Faith Fusion and Edge, High School Youth Night and Youth Bible Study will be in-person but with the mask and social distancing.
All other parish meetings will remain as is – meaning the option of either in-person or Zoom. If you have questions or concerns, not covered by this email/letter please feel free to contact me either by email [email protected] or phone at 763-323-7044.
Thank you and God Bless!
